Let's see, Paul - if those percentages hold up for all of those refunds
IRS "froze," then 18,480 of those taxpayers who didn't get either their
refund or an explanation-of-delay within a timely period


What is a "timely period"? Where is that defined in the statutes?

Are you a CPA or a lawyer, Paul.
Aren't you going to ask "what is 'is' " now?
How about "timely" being around the time most folks would actually receive
their expected refunds as the time they either do, or get a notice of
delay -- provided IRS has not already done an initial review of the refund
claim (beyond the computer program that picks out those suspicious filings)
and determined a definite likelihood of fraud? i.e. IRS has to get on what
the computer spits out sooner rather than later - or notify the taxpayer
they haven't gotten around to checking things out. (That's where putting to
work the "disclosure" folks comes in.)


Also, another 3,920 who were due a partial refund did not get a timely
explanation of why their refunds were not accomplished on a timely basis.

What is a "timely bais"? Where is that defined in the statutes?

But for Paul A Thomas, the end justifies the means and for those 18,480
people due timely refunds,

or at least an explanation of the delay, their rights can just be
ignored.

Where is it spelled out that someone has a "right" to a refund to be paid
within a certain amount of time?

What statute is being broken?

Yep - Paul thinks IRS folks shouldn't even scratch themselves unless
Congress writes the law telling them to.
